i'm just a messenger. but aj hawk has never been wrong. about anything. ever.

And that fixes nothing but when you have an athletic director running a pro sports franchise who knows

And giving into Rodgers does nothing

 

[GBP4EVER]

And he cares? Easy answer. No.

Rodgers is a ego manic those people care little about anything but themselves

If I was Mark Murphy

• Cut bait
• Announce that the organization and Rodgers have come to an impasse and it’s best for all parties to move on
• Thank him for everything he has done for the organization and he will always be part of the Packer family
• Put no timeline on a trade allow Dunn and Rodgers to find a deal that’s satisfactory for all parties
• Take the high road and don’t go after the money

Win win. Move on from the distraction, get assets in return, puts the organization in a positive light. 12 is happy, he move on to his happy place and basically handcuffs him from making a scene

lose lose at this point I don't think you get much from tradeing Rodgers. You give into Rodger shows any player can act like a ahole and get what they want I am not giving into Rodgers a inch

Well that’s my point

 

[GBP4EVER]

It’s not about giving in or not. It’s a business decision. And the value part is subjective. What is fair or equal value? He’s 38, the chances of skills declining are greater than another MVP season. He’s not going to be in GB in 2022, that’s a given IMO. And add in the distraction. It’s a business

It's bad business to role over and cave to Rodgers.

 

[GBP4EVER]

What we're all forgetting is that Rodgers could be traded after the season starts. If he does, or doesn't show up, he could be dealt until the 1st or 2nd week of November. Exact date unknown. League needs to decide.

I have a hunch that could end up being the case.

I think GB won't trade Rodgers no matter what it's more of cap hit in 2021

 

[GBP4EVER]

What I find difficult to quantify is Rodgers real trade value.

Yes, he is the reigning MVP.

But, was his 2020 season due to him being Aaron Almighty?
Or, is it in large part due to the offense ML employs at GB?
I’ll say it’s a bit of both.

Remember, for the 2 or 3 seasons leading up to last year there were more than a few experts who were wondering out loud if Rodgers best days might be behind him.

Even in his first year in ML’s system he struggled at times as he adjusted away from the “be all, do all” MM system. After all, old habits for old dogs are hard to break, and Rodgers IS an old dog.

It’s been talked about, at length, here that ML’s system is “QB friendly” and that you don’t necessarily need a HOF’er at QB to make it work.

So, any team that trades for AR may end up with buyers remorse because they may get the 2018-2019 version of Rodgers instead of the 2020 version.

Again, I find it hard to pin down what AR’s real trade value is, and it may be less than what we think & hope for.

I agree at this point best you get is a 1st which turns into a late round 1st pick.

I cannot emphasize this enough. It’s a business. Rodgers is not going to be a packer in 2022. Maximize the asset. It’s not a zero sum game
